    Nature is wonderful what it is labelled by man.

    There’s always something to admire in nature. After all, brown, tan, gray, and white are colors, too.

    Beautiful capture! Milkweed is such a wonderful plant. From its springtime sprouts, to its gorgeous, scented flowers, attracting so many different pollinators and caterpillars, to the cute little green seed pods, to the magical, fluffy seeds.

    I took a couple of images like that this week. The sun makes the silk glow and I think they’re really pretty even if they do mean that summer is definitely over.

    I’ll bet the butterflies enjoyed that milkweed … and now, we can enjoy seeing those silky strands. Still, this is one more sign winter is on its way.

    I have noticed more milkweed along roads. Always glad to see them.

    Isn’t it strange that people have given a name with weed in it to such a beautiful plant?

      Being stoloniferous, it can be aggressive, but we’ve learned its special value for monarchs. Farmers don’t like it as it can be poisonous to livestock, thus its widespread elimination with herbicides. Man vs. nature, per usual.

    Wonderful celebration of milkweed in this one photo, Eliza. I can almost feel those silky, intriguing contents.
